## Abstract

We study the structure of an outer-magnetospheric gap around a rotating neutron star. Migratory electrons and positrons are accelerated by the electric field exerted in the gap and radiate copious gamma-rays via curvature process. Some of the gamma-rays materialize by colliding with the X-rays illuminating the gap, leading to a pair production cascade. The replenished charges partially screen the original acceleration field, which is self-consistently solved from the Poisson equation, together with the Boltzmann equations for gamma-rays and the continuity equations for particles. We demonstrate that it is difficult to detect the TeV emission due to Compton upscatterings in the gap, by the current ground-based telescopes.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
